Such comments will not get you far. Lazarus is a community project. So
help by contributing!

Nope, all you need to do is generate a patch against the documentation
and submit it here or preferably in mantis where somebody with write
access can submit it. The FPC documentation and LCL documentation
works like that.

I think the Lazarus IDE documentation should too. I hate online
documentation, I need things local where it is fast to view. I can
(and have) done that for the FPC compiler and it works well.

BTW: If you run Linux and own a copy of Kylix or maybe have the Kylix
Open Edition still lying around, you can use it's help directly from
the Lazarus IDE. I enabled my Kylix 3 help (as described on the wiki).
I now have context sensitive help on anything related to Object
Pascal.
